You walked right past me like I wasn't even there, not even a pat on my head nor a glance my way.

You walked right past, thinking only of your plans ahead… Gotta get to the store, , have to pay the bills, the kids need shoes , who's gonna fix that broken door?

You didn't once notice my longing stare. I just wanted a pat on the head, to hear you say," Good boy, I'll be right back".

Even that much would have been OK…. but you had so many plans for the rest of the day…

I heard the door, ran to you, waggin my tail like all good doggies do. I tried my best, hoping for a little love from you..

"Not now, little one, later OK, later, when the kids are in bed."

The lights are out, the house is quiet. It's my turn now, I just know it…
You ran up the stairs, not a glance my way, thinking of your plans for the following day.

So much to do, make-up to try, What clothes to wear for the new job interview. I lay back down, time's running out.

I see the magical colors of the Rainbow, so vivid ahead; Gold and pink, blue and red.

All I wanted was on a pat on the head….

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I will miss my "little brother" Mac.
